Bjørn Tore Godal (Labor) headed Labor Youth in 1971, when the organization suggested that the Jewish state of Israel would have to give way to a one-state solution for both Jews and Muslims. As foreign minister in the mid-nineties, Mr. Godal received credit for the moribund Oslo-accords, the archives of which were to disappear from the MFA archives in 2006.
The screenshot above is from Norsk Utenrikspolitikks Historie, The history of Norway’s foreign policy. The first paragraph reads: Labor Youth suggested already in 1971 that Israel had to yield for a new democratic state, where Jews, Muslims and Christians received equal rights. This was during Bjørn Tore Godal’s time as Labor Youth (AUF) leader. Afterwards he went on to become Foreign Minister, and helped negotiate the Oslo accords (Aftenposten). We would like to learn more about the history of the Oslo accords, but sadly the MFA lost the entire archives one night in 2006.
Perhaps Mr.Godal knows where they are.
Hi Prof. and Christian
I am rather amused that the Norwegian Foreign Ministry have been unable to locate the missing documentatio. Just what are the ministers ashamed of? I located the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs website and found the full documentation and other interesting documentation which I emailed to you. I trust this will be beneficial to your arguement. Incidentally, the details can also be seen in Spanish for your Latin American blog.
It looks as if the U.S. State Dept details concerning the Oslo Clique I sent and you posted some little while ago, which you were kind enough to print has been vindicated by this article.
I wonder if you may care to contact Mr Godal and express your interest in helping him by offering to send him the details that I sent you. It should prove intersting as to his reaction. No doubt, just like Queen Victoria, the response will be “I am not amused.”
Hilsen fra meg og lykke til
Ha det bra
Martin
